Trout 11"-12" will consume fish up to at least 1.5" long. Adding FHM now in fall with the trout will take some of the predation influence off the sufish. I would wait till late June when trout are dead or close to dying to add the FHM. Adult sunfish will spawn again in June so you might want to consider adding two sizes of bass 2"-4" and 4"-6" along with the FHM. Or skip the FHM and let the bass feed heavily on the hewly hatched sunfish and last year's hatch of sunfish.
